When
I was a student nurse, I prayed that my instructor wouldn’t choose me for her
“game show” humiliation during post-conference. She would randomly challenge us
with impromptu questions like, “What’s the difference between pre-load and
after-load? Tina. Can you answer?”…like she was a game show host but without
the fabulous prizes.
Of
course the questions in some way related to the lecture content of that week
but with the gazillion things to learn, it was impossible to be fully
prepared. If you knew the answer,
you were a superstar, however if you didn’t, she made you feel that you were
forever unworthy of the RN title.
